Samsung has had a tough time getting Bixby to really take off. They just opened up an Early Access Program for Bixby Voice for Galaxy S8 and S8+ users and are apparently getting complaints of the service not being satisfactory when it comes to results when responding to requests and questions.

The service may not officially launch until later in the fall. Samsung lacks accumulation of big data to make a service like Bixby voice possible. Reportedly language barriers between the US and Korean engineers are making this even more difficult for Samsung. Apparently with all the trouble Bixby is causing Samsung they are moving forward with the project enabling it on the Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition and continuing work on the rumored Bixby powered speaker.
